GAN Aptitude Test Sections
The test includes four sections:
- Basic math
- Numerical reasoning
- Reading comprehension
- Mechanical reasoning
Let’s review them in detail with sample quetions. Keep scrolling!
Basic Math
In this section you will be asked to solve basic arithmetic exercises that involve the four operations, fractions, decimals and percentages. The use of a calculator is NOT allowed.
½ × ¾ = ?
½ + ¾ = ?
What is 18% of 320?
14.1 is 3% of what number?
0.01 × 0.3 = ?
0.58 − 0.27 = ?
0.4 ÷ 3 = ?
Numerical Reasoning
In this section, you will be asked to find the next item in a series of numbers. This requires analyzing the pattern with different mathematical concepts.
-1 | 3.5 | 9 | 15.5 | ?
Here’s how we can find the pattern and the next number:
- Calculate the Differences:
3.5 – (-1) = 4.5
9 – 3.5 = 5.5
15.5 – 9 = 6.5 - Analyze the Differences:
The differences between consecutive terms are 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5. Notice that these differences increase by 1 each time. Following the pattern, the next difference should be 6.5 + 1 = 7.5. Thus, 15.5 + 7.5 = 23.
Paper Folding
This section tests your perceptual skills. The figures represent a square piece of paper being folded and punched. Each hole is punched through all the thicknesses of paper at that point. You are to decide which one of the figures correctly represents the result.
Reading Comprehension
In this section you’ll have to read a passage and then answer multiple-choice questions.Â
Mechanical Reasoning
In this section you will be presented with physical and mechanical concepts. Simple machines, like pulleys, levers, and inclined planes. General physical concepts such as gravity and inertia.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
There isn’t a specific pass score. Your GAN Aptitude Test score is just one of several factors that are reviewed when determining your eligibility for an apprenticeship. For example, see how St Paul Electrical JATC uses your score:
“Your overall score that places you in our eligibility list is based on how well you do on the aptitude test, education experience, work experience, and your highest ranking letter of recommendation.”
Thus, your goal is to score as high as possible, to improve your qualification chances.Â
Many training centers across the United States use the test as part of the apprenticeship selection process. It could be electrical, pipefitting, plumbing, and other training centers.
